Munsee and English/Contrastive Grammar

umu-eng tests

Locative

Munsee uses a special locative suffix (-ung), which turns a noun into a location and adding meanings such as:

• "to the"
• "at the"
• "in the"
• "on the"

This is different from English, which uses separate prepositional words.

• (umu) Je le mangerai → (eng) Yo lo comeré ("I'll eat it.")
